The publishing program with over 160 new books per year includes the areas of humanities and natural sciences. The publisher sells u. a. the Universal Lexicon Columbia Encyclopedia and books by US Presidents Woodrow Wilson and William Howard Taft . From the 1940s the Granger's Index to Poetry and The Columbia Gazetteer of the World were published, but also the Papers of Alexander Hamilton and other multi-volume works. He was one of the first university publishers in the USA to switch to a digital offering. The publisher's books have received numerous awards.
